Transition to High School
Transition
The staff at North Walkden understand that this transition period can bring mixed emotions to the children as they embark on the next phase of their educational journey. In class, we will be working hard to ensure any anxieties and questions are answered for all children. Equally, we will share their excitements and offer them reassurance about this important change in their lives.
High Schools are individually communicating with parents to advise about summer schools and any extra transition events they are putting in place to support learners:
